This is probably the only time that I have ever seen a photograph of an out-of-place species (red-eared slider) sitting on the back of a cryptid (the Hoan Kiem turtle). Weird, huh?

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

The Hoan Kiem Turtle is NOT a cryptid. It is, and always has been, a KNOWN species.
People promoting the Vietnamese turtle AS a cryptid have simply never bothered to look that part up.
